This Is Not Sparta

The Kenilworth Karpovs held off the barbarians of Sparta in their second Garden State Chess League match at West Orange. A press photo from the event is shown below:

Board by board results:

Steve 'MVP' Stoyko (B) 1-0 Tom Murray

Ian Mangion (W) 1-0 Mark Van der Veen

'Mad' Max Sherer (B) 1-0 Rick Schluter

'Mad' Mike Wojcio (W) 0-1 Russ Avarella

Karpovs 3-1 Sparta

Tactics fun on board 2....here in a tough position Black played 32...Ba3!? (cheapo alert), what is the cleanest way to end the game after 33. Bd4 Bd6? See comments for answer.
